Anyone here have any experience staying in Cyberjaya? I find that it is one of the few places that is still considered affordable and you can get landed properties at a much lower price, and sort of close to cities and advanced community, compared to more outskirt places like Kajang/Seri Kembangan/Batu Caves for the same price

Its not a rural area. All convenience of those cities can be found here, with less traffic. Restaurants, education centers, public transportation, parks, sports activities, and much more. Proper infrastructure and internet, close proximity to airport.

Landed properties there much lower price? Really???

I think it is more expensive there

Cyberjaya North, South, East and West are not Cyberjaya as per said name other than CYBERJAYA.

it's a no brainer, you are enjoying the infrastructure and town-planning that required hundreds millions maintenance, all is paid by Putrajaya.

west is gamuda cove, east is putrajaya, north is puchong and south is dengkil. all are equally popular except dengkil, wht they want to use cbj name? i only heard puchong south but never hear cbj north.

Cyberjaya is under MP Sepang, and the infras are not well maintained.

I lived in cyber for 5 years.

if kajang/seri kembangan/batu caves considered as outskirt, then cyber will be outskirt of the outskirt

it's just you don't appreciate the cost of the infrastructure and its maintenance. do you think the three or four interchanges connecting putrajaya and cbj were cheap?

For Muslim, good place with lots of Arabic food, local Malay plenty also. For Non- Muslim, head to Bukit Puchong for non-Halal food.

There's surprisingly, non-Halal food hiding behind a row of shoplots. Won't see it from main road, have to purposely go inside

Some mixed rice, Cantonese roast, noodles.

Now got a nice bah kut teh shop also.

Personally feels this is a good place to raise family, light traffic n open spaces with plenty of greenery and parks including quick access to the ones in putrajaya.

Thanks for tall the replies. Currently I am staying and Subang Jaya so yes, Cyberjaya landed houses are cheaper than where I am staying now haha.

Almost every USJ here is 5-10mins drive/walk to an LRT station, bank, food place, mall, uni, clinics, so was curious how convenient in terms if all these infra structure is in cyberjaya.

Because when compared to few other outskirt townships like Batu Caves/Rawang/Semenyih/Kajang, my personal experience is infrastructure is still lackluster, although properties are far cheaper there.

roads here are certainly better than batu caves/kajang but that's about it. i think you'll get a huge culture shock moving from usj. unless you really like peace and quiet and driving far distances..

Driving far distance is if want to go outside cyberjaya, shops or restaurants within cyberjaya about 5 - 10 mins drive

depend on ur living style ba... last time i got a contra unit from subcon in setia eco glades...place is ok 1

just that ur car mileage will ramp up alot... abit headache.

but for the price, can get a better 1.

Landed properties here starting at 2k. "Decent" ones starting at 3k. Is it cheap compare to others?

I see postings in Cybersouth (Dengkil) as low as 1500 for 3 room landed house. We are considering to rent there even though its 10km away from Cyberjaya where I work. Also, cant get much feedback bout the community in Cybersouth as well.

Back to Cyberjaya, my wife like it here.. not too crowded. Community is nice in general. Low to none crime rate. You can cycle around even 11pm onwards and it's safe in my experience.

you are blinded by the "living in landed property" mirage. Why must you live in landed?

Batu caves or seri kembangan is definitely better than cyberjaya.

Esp batu cave. You're blinded by marketing, my friend. Batu cave is within KL itself. Cyberjaya is some hutan belukar somewhere.

If you so fixated with landed, why don't u check out Ulu Yam Baru. Cheap only.

I know right? Just becos some property company say cyber good, wah, nice design, wah etc

All rubbish. How can batu cave be outskirt compared to cyberjaya

I think TS never open google map before.

then stay in subang jaya. it's much better than cyberjaya.

if u can't afford landed there, just stay condo.

It's not the property. It's the location and the nieghbourhood.

And also, u don't have to buy new from developer. Why gib developer your hard earned money at ridiclous price?

Just buy resale.

The environment in cybersouth would not be as good as cyberjaya imo. Another option is around 16 sierra area, not too far from cyber and peaceful environment.

thanks for all the feedback, both salty and unsalted ones :V

depends on where youre working imo.

i personally like cbj environment. it's basically a calm city where you can find pretty much everything there although might be not much options.

if you're working in KL however, dont think it's a good idea since it's 40km away unless your office is near lrt/mrt area since cbj mrt is going to open early 2023

The MRT stops are a bit far from cyberjaya happening areas.

For traffic, the plus point is the MEX highway, quite smooth to KL even far distance

Ya quite scluded area but at least got park n ride. So anyone working in KL can use it

If the feeder bus shuttles through enough condos in downtown and along Psn Multimedia, that will be great.

Imo, if consider only south KV, seri kembangan is miles better than cyberjaya.
Tol free to KL, better food options esp Chinese food, SK/SJK...

Lol how can this guy say Cyberjaya is better than Batu Caves.

Even without MCO, after 8PM Cyberjaya is a dead city.Very limited options of food, shopping malls quite far from each other. It's a place if you are looking for calmness and avoid from city.

Batu caves on the other hand, plenty of food choices! Amenities are everywhere. More 'happening' bro. 10km from KLCC how do you call it ceruk.

MRT here not for people to hangout in hotspots leh
If ure in cyber ure definitely gonna be driving around locally (as with any other location)

Having MRT would provide nice option for KL work commute

But agree la, should have MRT at tamarind area where u commercial, residentials, uni, hospitals and int school

MRT location is quite bad

bro you can check property for sale with the area you desired...cyber usually less traffic as other said but more on gov office
if you want more eatery of course other area will be better as other state like seri kembangan etc
not sure if you can landed there but if you browse on site for other area should has stg fit ur requirement
never forget to consider your work place distance as well

You're welcome.


Cheers!!

haha, exactly. U got the point.

Well I guess it really depends on what you prefer.

Generally, I prefer less crowded place like Cyberjaya. A calm, laid-back city if I have to describe it. I work here so obviously, travel is no issue. But yeah, I can recommend staying here. If you are into biking, this place is good due to wide bike lanes and less traffic. Few km away from Putrajaya wetlands, PCP, lake, etc...

However, some people prefer more "lively" place.

For me, I've been working in Cyberjaya more than a decades and had been staying here for couple of years. I enjoyed less to none traffic jam. A lot of green parks everywhere. Crime rate is zero at least in my residential area - Setia Eco Glades and a project as a whole also zero for crimes, tats at least 6-8 years since 1st phase roll out.

And so far it is the only town planning with wide bicycle lanes. And walking path almost every part in Cyberjaya.

Food wise: I must said it is more than sufficient. If u enjoy non halal, there's Third Avenue shoplots, Few shops around Glomac near Pelita and many more. And more are popping out.
If u wanna experience something else, go dengkil, equine park, bukit puchong or even sri petaling... all around 10-15 minutes drive only.

Shopping/grocery: Within Cyberjaya: there are few. Village grocer, jaya grocer, star grocer and few more big one are coming...
Again, if u enjoy aeon or aeon big, they are just around 15 mins away only.

When I started working in CBJ, there's only Oldtown tat open 24/7 and when we crave for non halal, we always go Dengkil or SK. Its just few minutes away via drive. Now u have plenty of choice, even Taco Bell open its very first branch in CBJ, tats shows something right? Got potential...

Cbj no more spaces edy, tats y u have Cyberwest (Gamuda), north (Bkt Puchong), east(Putrajaya/PJ) and south(Dengkil) now whereby none of them are belong to Cyberjaya. Many development are booming up also. Government also setup many kebangsaan schools, big huge hospital which opening soon. Many universities, private school, international skool around the corner.

It is still a very peaceful and very serene in this growing cities. If u miss oversea or travel, the gateway is just 25 minutes away.

If you thought of staying in Cyberjaya, its either u come now when there are still have many choices, price range still affordable. Or come later, when amenities, facilities n development is there. Then u probably need prepare more bullets and pay higher for stay or move even further than Cyberjaya.

If later when cbj no more spaces or prices gone up. Then the question probably come back again? Should I move to Nilai? Bandar Salak South? hahaha... just my 2 cents.

Will there be a new public school planned at cbj? Cos i saw petition to build additional school the one at cbj already crammed with 40+ students per class. Dats crazy

That's show development n population booming...

Public school:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberjaya#Education_facilities

New one is in Cyber 10. Behind some housing area. In front of the Setia Safiro entrance...
Still under construction - click me for locations

And few more... heard over verbal conversation, details may roll out later.

I moved in to cbj last year, very happy with my decision, some reasons:
1) neighbours are good
2) sjkc here is new, good facilities, good teachers, and it doesn't take a lot of time to send and pick up kids, can reach the school within 5 minutes driving due to smooth traffic.
3) public parks here are well maintained and we enjoyed jogging. Even my friend from kajang came here during weekend to enjoy the parks.
4) klia transit, I work in kl sentral area, I can reach home within 40 minutes from office to home not affected by rain, accident, etc. Klia transit travel time is 20 minutes. I am not a fans of mrt/lrt as they have many stops and take longer travel time.
5) 24 bookstore, 24 hours gym etc. But cannot open right now due to MCO.
6) can reach every shop in Cyberjaya within 20 minutes? Many foods to choose actually. Bak kut teh also available.
7) weekend if want go IKEA cheras eta 35 minutes, just use Google map to search and you would know w if Cyberjaya is really far from kl. For me time is more important than distance.
8) going back hometown in Johor also easy direct reach the toll entrance in 5 minutes.

It would depend on the life style you want, where you work etc.

My wife asked me why not I buy one more unit in my taman, I said I got to sell blood. This is how much we enjoy cbj and see her potential.

Just note Cybersouth and Cyberjaya is not the same.

Ok ba. My time 52 students per class..

Dont normalise idiotic things

High demand is like that la...
If not where they have to go? Another new school? After 20 years la...

which housing area within Cyberjaya are you staying ?
SEG?

School at cyberjaya there getting more cramped la deswai people petition to ask additional school..

Then u said its fine as your time got 50+ students in one class. Facepalm la this mentality

when Putrajaya turn off the tap... all left is shity roads, flash flood, traffic lights either stop work or got destroy every month and hell... even telco lines sux on resident zones...

best part is that one and only station is called CCC, for me is nearer to just go to Putrajaya Sentral

Let me be the bad guy here...

cut the bbb FOMO, no more space bs.. just go around back of DELL or HASIL near the abandoned MEX KLIA extension or Sejati residences to see for yourself.

Hell.. even where the MRT station location - CCC CYBERJAYA CITY CENTRE(53.37 acres) is still undeveloped and you call that running out of land soon?

Are we talking about the same cyberjaya? OR you are not staying in Cyber? help yourself by look at the google map at least.

Surrounding project gamuda?... Not need to look so far...
There enough land hold by PKNS for Selangor Science Valley compete for price until you
even their own famous "Raudhah City" until now cannot sell.

-----

but if you are renting then the place is all good.. rental never go up since I forgotten how many moons backs...
buy for own stay, go ahead if you like but make sure you stay and not later opening another thread "Buy for own stay but... what should I do.."

U sure u r true malaysian?
Fine or not fine who cares?

15 minutes drive is about 12km away, is like from klcc to dbkl boundary e.g batu caves, the curve, jalan templer, tmn cuepacs, ampang jaya, etc.

cbj is near flight path; on approach to klia runway, one can see vast piece of land remain undeveloped in and surrounding cbj, enough for a few decades of development. until overhang units is reduced substantially, poorperly price will remain suppressed as seen in the last few years.

If you check cyberjaya masterplan http://invest.mpsepang.gov.my/home/bp2-cyberjaya/

All big residential land has been taken - seg, symphony, gardens, sejati, safiro, maple... Dont see space for big landed projects anymore.

Raudhah is an interesting case.. it is at the boundary just outside cyberjaya, guess is a combination of location and product positioning issue. Afaik all landed projects in cyber n even gamuda cove sells pretty well.

In metropolitan cities like NYC, London, etc, new supply never cease and landed is always available in subsale market. Why cbj will be different?

Batu Caves is only 10-15 minutes +- to KL by Jalan Kuching and many other gov roads and highways..oh and I live here in Batu Caves and work in Cyberjaya LOL..Cyberjaya is like a ghost town..you might enjoy the calmness of it at the start but you'll be asking where's all the people after a while haha...especially if you're coming from USJ

I used to stay in kota damansara and puchong, 15 minutes drive doesn't take me far. If you work in kl city center, after 30 minutes drive, may still see the office during bad days.

Always available, just become more expensive. The norm is changing.

Affordable home is still available in subsale of some district in NYC and London.

After a week of commuting to work, how many still enjoy to travel >10km for grocery during weekends?

This post has been edited by icemanfx: Jun 27 2021, 03:19 PM

I have been to many major cities in the world. Home are not really affordable in major cities. Depend the expectation of a home.

Why need to travel more than 10km for grocery? Village grocer, jaya grocer, durian stall, food truck, etc. just few minutes drive within cbj.

This post has been edited by wsoon82: Jun 27 2021, 03:49 PM

yes yes... plan plan.. Thats the project, if the whole town is not control wholly by Gov maybe now it won't be just a plan...
Don't get me wrong, Im only of those that bought into the Cyberjaya idea but it is just getting no where after how many years of diff plan with diff gov and bureaucracy.

CCC CYBERJAYA CITY CENTRE is plan and Cyberjaya itself is still a plan.

you know what is selling pretty well? >> no need to still advertise 2 years after launch

For the example you mentioned.. sorry I can't agree, only sales persons will say like this.
Completed and on fire sales project... gardens, maple
and please count how many LANDED lelong from cyberjaya (symphony ), yes even landed is coming..

Cyberjaya/Sepang is not a major city with KLCC cost.

Well i am no SA but was in the market for a landed home so hv visited a few landed projects at cyber 10... namely amaya, safiro, mulia and sejati lakeside

No land left to develop is not the same as no house left to buy, lets make that clear. I go to SEG regularly for a client. Not a bad place really. Beautifully empty though. She is parking her german barges in the three empty houses next and opposite so that she can hang clothes and grow vegetables in her own drive.

Ofcos, subsales market will always be available i guess.

Sorry i guess what I'm trying to get at is that there's a difference between having lots of space to use, because theres lots of space planned Vs having lots of space to use, because the surrounding homes are mostly unoccupied.

This post has been edited by LoTek: Jun 27 2021, 06:46 PM

Yeah... cyberjaya overbuilt the past decade and only now staring to see the intended population growth.

Have been to Cyberjaya a few times, the roads are build wide, there's even a jogger's path / cyclist road. Nonetheless, many of the landed / retail & apartments there are vacant.. supply more than demand..
to far away from PJ to be considered .. guess more suited for those who value the quiet / peaceful life..

I read last time that the sepang area, ie cyber and putra has the fastest growing population in the whole of malaysia, something like 7% per annum. Its just that during the boom times the supply went up by more than double, even with the population growth it will take time for the place to fill up, but given the high population growth, it probably wont take more than a few more years.

Believe many bought to flip or rent, may not sustain for a few more years.

I don't know how do you understand the logic.

Investor bought and flip, meaning, someone else will buy it over from the investor, they will either:- buy for ownstay, buy for rental or buy to flip
If buy for ownstay, means the unit will be occupied
If buy to rent, meaning the unit will be occupied as well, just not by owner.
If buy to flip, back to the cycle.

If they cannot flip, then lelong. The new buyer cannot run from the 3 element of ownstay, renting or flipping.

Eventually someone will stay in the property, be it the owner or renter.

When population increase, needless to say demand increases that will bring in business and services which in turn bring in work opportunity again is a cycle.

I'm seeing lelong phase in cbj now. Everytime askar perang announced new buyer, I'm happy.

You keep saying cbj is a ghost town. I'm seeing people grabbing the lelong unit there. Not like lelong also no one buying it. Bukit beruntung?

Anyways, putrajaya keep on pumping money in cbj. Don't see they do that in Petaling Jaya. The satellite city for kl.

Do you know how many unoccupied units in cbj? do you realize how many rounds of auction before is sold? Can you tell how much population need to increase to fill those vacant units? Are you aware cbj was first developed at about the same time as Puchong, Kota kamuning, setia alam.

This post has been edited by icemanfx: Aug 5 2021, 03:08 AM

Am I right to say that CJ was marketed as “high-end” considering sold prices were around 800 psf. It seems that entire market has fallen so you have good quality units at bargain prices.

No i don't know how many unoccupied building in cbj, you have the data to share?
Anyway all existing building in cbj is less than 5 y.o

Only 6 project older than 10 years. Cyberia smart home, cyberia crescent 1 and 2, neo cyber 1 and 2, cyber heigth villa, and d'melor

Now it's lelong stage, I'm seeing less and less lelong listing from cyberjaya from askar perang, maybe due mco?

If you are familiar with cbj, you could find out without difficulty.

Sec 14 lrt

Cyberjaya no good place complain

Yes, affordable place to settle down

You already bought in cyberjaya or not?
